This is to prevent shadowing the built-in function format()
This replaces the use of the older and less powerfull % operator to format floats.
There is no format specification 'r', but complex numbers can use the same format specifications as real numbers. An empty format specification just uses the str() representation.

Description of Changes
Use
format()instead of the%operator to format floating-point numbers in the array and dataframe editors, because this has more functionality and it is modern Python style instead of C-style priintf. For example, with.format()you can specify a thousands separator with,in the format specifier, as shown in the animation below.A difference with the current version is that there is no initial
%character in the format specifier: the user should now give the format as.6ginstead of%.6g. However, the config option never had the%character in it, so there is no hange in the configuration.The second commit contains the actual change from
%to.format(), the other commits are preparation and tidying up.Issue(s) Resolved
